Excellent place. The capsules and the shared room were very clean and quiet. The hall was very comfortable and they have vending machines for food and drinks, as well as a coffee machine. The bathrooms were excellent—very spacious, modern, and clean. The receptionists were very attentive. The security was also great: there are lockers available, and you can open the entrance and exit doors using your phone. If I come back to Amsterdam, I’ll definitely stay here again.

A clean, quiet place with a good atmosphere, especially the attention of the staff.

All hostels in Amsterdam

Looking for a hostel?

Budget travellers know that there is no better way to make the most of their trip than by staying at a hostel: save money for exploring during the day, and swap stories with fellow backpackers in the shared kitchen or bar in the evening. Dorm-style bedrooms with shared bathrooms are standard hostel fare, but private rooms are also available for those willing to pay a bit more.
